On May 25, as former President Donald Trump was at the Saudi-backed LIV golf tournament at his course in Sterling, Virginia, one of his aides was photographed leaning toward him and dutifully adjusting the collar of his white pullover, a moment of closeness that had become routine for the pair.The timing of the photograph was noteworthy: One day earlier, the aide, Walt Nauta, had been notified by the government that he was a target of a federal investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents, suggesting that charges against Nauta were likely.On Friday, prosecutors unsealed those charges. Nauta, a 40-year-old Navy veteran, was charged with conspiracy, making false statements and withholding documents as part of Trump’s effort to thwart the government’s attempts to reclaim the classified documents Trump had taken with him when he left the White House.Nauta’s story is, among other things, a cautionary tale about what loyalty to Trump can bring. After serving his country in ...

They emphasized the work that still needs to be done and the habits that need to be unlearned.One win can change everything, but in this case, it didn’t, as the Mets fell 2-1 to the Pirates on Sunday at PNC Park. The Mets (31-35) dropped the series, 2-1, and suffered their eighth loss in nine tries.This loss was like many others: A starting pitcher failed to even make it to the sixth inning and the Mets’ bats went quiet. Right-hander Carlos Carrasco (2-3) limited the damage but increased his pitch count with three walks. He was removed with two outs in the fifth, with the Mets going to left-hander Josh Walker to face left-handed hitter Jack Suwinski, who had homered off Carrasco to lead off the bottom of the fourth to tie the game at 1-1.The bottom of the order produced the go-ahead run in the same frame.
